Q: I am in the final stages of testing and need some advice and help.
I have two problems I am trying to address.
1) Arrows on dropdown menu select.
2) Load time.
Please notice, I have to use absolute paths for the dropdown menu select to work.
1) I can't get the arrows to show, so I tried to add the code for images in the first bold sentence below.
2) I tried to add the second line for absolute paths for links to increase load time in the second bold sentence. It appears that the load time is increased by about 3 seconds and that the menu is the last to load, even though I have tried to have this as the first html to load.
Neither one of my commands appear to work.
This site has over 10,000,000 items on it, and I can't wait to get this up and running. Your program is the perfect solution for anybody with a website.
A: 1) Now you have:
var arrowImageMain=["mainmenu.files/arrv_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arrv_white_2.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["mainmenu.files/arr_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arr_white_2.gif"];
You should set your arrows in the following way:
var arrowImageMain=["arrv_blue_2.gif","arrv_white_2.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["arr_blue_2.gif","arr_white_2.gif"];
2) Your menu is very large. I advise you to us AJAX like technology.

You can also try the following things:
move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_init() function from mainmenu.js file -- move them instead offiles calls, i.e.:
<head>
<script src=mainmenu.js>
...
</head>
...
<div><script>dm_init();</script></div>
It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatdropdown menu select must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.
Q: Thanks for your information, and the program is very useful and user friendly compare with others.
But I have a question, pls see the following example.
inside the menu.js (the file which we will run as navigation bar)
var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif", "menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
when setup running the php file directly is no problem
however, as we have some links will have different values as the end (have problem running at the menu)
such as blog.php?ownid=4497
there is having a dynamic value at the end
at our php files we use
<a href="blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>">
Any suggestion for this case? or you can give us some example?
A: The following link should work fine in Deluxe Menu:
["Item 1","blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also try to move menuItems and dm_init(); function to your page inside <script>tag:
<script>
var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif","menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif","menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
</script>
